What is a penetration test?

Penetration testing simulates the behaviour of a real cyber criminal in order to identify issues in the integrity of your systems and advises you how to fix them before they are exploited for real. Penetration tests are typically carried out from outside of your network, but also inside your network to simulate insider threats. If you take cyber security seriously then penetration testing is vital.

Why do you need a penetration test?

With the growing frequency and complexity of cyber attacks, more and more companies are investing in a penetration test. A penetration test is a small cost compared to the disruption caused by a cyber attack. It is estimated that a cyber attack costs a UK company £172,000 on average (source: Quocirca/Trend Micro 2015). Here are some benefits of undertaking penetration testing:
